The harbour site requires considerable investment and draft proposals are being presented which seek to increase investment in both the harbour and the caravan site, reflecting a collective ambition to enhance the quality of life and economic vitality of Southwold and surrounding communities.
Participants are invited to complete an online survey, fill in paper copies, or attend one of three drop-in events taking place in the town.
The proposals seek to balance the rich heritage and charm of the Harbour with the needs and aspirations of the community and visitors. Local participation will be crucial in helping shape a future which respects the site’s history while embracing innovation and sustainability.
Currently, the caravan site is operated through the issuing of annual licences to static caravan owners. It has limited infrastructure, limited access to non-residents and limited income to support the wider harbour. Although increased investment in, and revenue from, an improved caravan site would support the harbour, considerable external funding would still be required to safeguard its future.
The Southwold Harbour Vision 2035 and the Static Caravan Site Revitalisation project represent a collective ambition to enhance the quality of life and economic vitality of Southwold and surrounding communities.

The decision on whether to undertake a neighbourhood plan will depend on the individual community, the land use planning issues it faces and any long term aspirations. Other types of community led plans are available.
